Why the local has 0.0.0.0 instead of my mgmt0 ip of 10.193.136.43?

I have...

ntp server 10.193.136.42 prefer

in my configuration. That's all.

Other switches ok, but not this.

Not sure if this helps but here's the output from a 9513 running 3.2(2c) -- you may be seeing a problem with SAN-OS 3.0(2a). I have also been caught once by forgetting the "ntp commit".
